Ma217 Instructors' Gateway Page S24

Hints and Tips

This page is for Mathematics Instructors teaching Math 217 only. If you are a student, you're probably looking for the practice gateway page.

Gateway Results

To obtain access to student results for the gateway test,

1. Login through the University weblogin system (with your uniqname and Kerberos login password) if you aren't already authenticated through weblogin.
   
2. After logging in, you will be at a page called "Student Progress." By clicking on the name of a test you can see the results for that test.
   
3. To see only results for your section or a specific recitation, click the test name to see all results. Then select "section #" and/or "recitation #" in the Display Options at the top of the page and click "Update Display." This gives columns with those data; you can then click the column header to sort on that column first, thus isolating a single section or recitation.
   
4. Any "Proctored" test counts towards passing a gateway; any "Practice" test does not. Thus the ProctoredMatrixOpsGW and ProctoredDiagonal tests count towards passing the gateways.
   
5. A student must get 7 or better on the matrixops gateway test to have passed it.
   
6. A student must get 5/5 on the diagonalization gateway test to have passed it.
   
7. Note that for gateway tests you can restrict the type of information you view by selecting different Display Options and "updating display" at the top of that page. In particular, viewing only the best scores (which only shows the best score for each student) is a good way of determinine which of your students have passed.
   
8. Click a different test name from the list at the bottom of the left column to see results for that test.
   
9. When you are finished, click the "Log out" link at the top right of the page (or at the top of the left column on the page.)
   
10. Note that the test names "01solve_linsys", "02matrix_ops", etc., should be ignored; these are the definitions for the different categories on the actual gateway test, but have nothing to do with the score reporting by student.
    

In-Office Proctored Tests

To allow the student to take a proctored test that you proctor, use the lower selector to the left. Note that the student has to log in, using his/her uniqname and Kerberos password, and after that you must use your proctor uniqname and proctor password to authorize the test as a proctor.
